Â In the post I made it clear I felt it was a bootleg at the time, and really only mentioned it out of curiousity as I’d never seen a 10,000 Days vinyl before. Â Following that post I was told by a somewhat reliable source that Tool were planning to do… Read More »A General Warning
ebackwardse from Toolarmy emailed me today (he also posted it on the Toolarmy boards) to tell me about his meetup with Adam at the recent Doctors Without Borders fundraiser. Sounds like it was a good event for a worthwhile cause: Location could not of been better!!! The restaurant was very small, but not at all crowded. As we walked in we were standing right next to the brother from Everybody… Read More »Meeting Adam in Malibu
Blair posted a Toolarmy Exclusive today where he talks about visiting Tool while they rehearse in LA this week. A short but interesting article, where Blair mentions he didn’t hear the new cover he expects to be played (he didn’t mention what it might be). He also mentions that there was a bit of new material played, however he doesn’t expect any of this will be played at the shows.… Read More »Tour Preview for Toolarmy Members

gnjasmkr send me a link today for an interesting item on Ebay. It is a copy of 10,000 Days on red vinyl. I’ve never seen one of these personally, and will presume it’s some kind of bootleg for now, but it begs the question – is the “big thing” a release of 10,000 Days on vinyl? Edit: Link fixed!
Blair has released the latest Tool newsletter on Toolband/Army. This time around he talks about a recent trip to Area 51 to capture some new footage for Rosetta Stoned. Other than that there’s nothing much there in regards to Tool information. One for Blair fans only.
